[Power Girl]

Not one of us would be surprised?

Sack Hinkley 9 through to 15

 

[dirty2]

Instead of sacking Hinkley... As much as I would like that... Just come out tomorrow and tell the truth.. Carr is coaching.

Sack Hinkley 9 through to 15

Sack Hinkley 16 - Picking through the smouldering dumpster fire that was our club. Who gives a *uck.

What happens if Hinkley gets re-signed and inevitably misses the Grand Final?

If playing finals is overrated then the Grand Final must be the most overrated game of all.

If playing finals is overrated then the Grand Final must be the most overrated game of all.

The sugar hit of playing in and winning a grand final

The former Richmond coach has declared he “misses” coaching, and would “be lying if I said I couldn’t see myself doing it (again)”.

Melbourne media already have him coaching Gold Coast.

I'm not sure it's as simple as the "herp derp he's on the bench he's not the coach" narrative people are going with, I certainly think that Carr and the other coaches are taking on more on match day, but I doubt Ken is just some old guy patting people on the back and cheering goals from the sideline.

It's perhaps something like what happens in other sports (NFL, etc) the coaching team creates a gameplan prior to the game/season, and on matchday the coaches box strategizes and makes calls based on the plan and runs them by the coach on the side line, and modifies/runs with them based on his backing. I can certainly see why it would work better, imagine working in that kind of environment with your boss constantly on top of you, whether they're a good boss or not you still need that separation.

No one is saying McRae isn't coaching Collingwood right now and he seems to be using the same setup, same with Brisbane, Carlton....... well........ f**k knows what's going on there, it looks like no one is coaching that mob.

That would be plausible if Hinkley had done this from the outset but it's not. All of the changes we have seen thus far this year are the complete antithesis of 10 year Hinkley. He's renowned for having full control and no change. What we are seeing is simply not him.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

Hardwick's recent comments about returning to coaching sounds like he has a verbal agreement somewhere

 

[Enviable Tradition]

Melbourne media already have him coaching Gold Coast.

No doubt AFL funded.

Josh Carr is Batman.

Nobody can know his true identity.

Is that based on any evidence? Or the result of a groupthink from an internet echo chamber?

I think it is more that the roadblock to making in-game moves has been moved from the box.

Apart from attending games AFL, SANFL, AFLW, watching it on tv, reading, listening, going to the AGM every year, going to the Club, watching training, it's definitely a result of a groupthink from an internet echo chamber.

 

[tribey]

The pathological urge from thundercloud for Hinkley to be credited with every success, yet absolved and not responsible for 10+ years of failure is unhealthy.

The most obtuse human being to ever post on these boards, and as we know, he’s got a heavyweight contender.

Definitely groupthink echo chamber and you're smack in the middle of the chamber in this thread.
